More than 25 community organisations will assemble at Gerringong Library and Museum to showcase the wide range of groups and service providers in the region.

If you are looking to meet new people, discover a hobby, or get more involved in your local community, the Gerringong Community Expo next Saturday (21 February) is the perfect place to see what is on offer.

The free event will feature gardening, craft and music groups, as well as U3A, CWA, Probus, Lions and the Rural Fire Service, aned many other organisations offering something for all ages and interests.

Families and community members are invited to enjoy a free pancake breakfast and sausage sizzle, and meet the local group members.

Kiama Mayor Cameron McDonald said the event, which has received funding from the Australian Library & Information Association’s Community Cohesion Programs grant, was a great opportunity to strengthen local connections.

“Our community is full of talented, passionate people who give their time to make Gerringong and the wider Kiama area such a welcoming and vibrant place,” he said.

“This expo brings all of that energy together – helping people find new interests, make new friends and discover support networks they may not have known existed.

“I encourage everyone to come along and see what our community has to offer.”
